At http://neo.jpl.nasadot gov/news/news140.html it details some of the 
info about the recovery of the Hermes asteroid.

I note near the bottom "We now know that since it was last seen, Hermes 
has made eight close approaches to the Earth and Venus to within 0.06 
AU, including an Earth approach to within about 1.6 lunar distances in 
1942."

So in ten close approaches (8 plus the 1932 and 2003 passes) it's been 
spotted twice. That's a 20% detection rate.
